I recorded a casual conversation between myself and a good friend that visited me here in Missoula. This conversation could be an excellent resource for Spanish 2 students to exercise their listening comprehension of intermediate grammatical structures, and as each of us made a couple of mistakes this could be used as a "identify the errors" exercise as well. Please find the conversation at the following link:

I recently came across this blog , which illustrates how various technology tools can be integrated into a foreign language classroom in order to raise student interest and diversify instruction. Of greatest interest to me is the digital pen pal program, where students can post videos of themselves speaking in the foreign language, and interact with other classmates from their district and/or another school from around the world via these short videos. Reflecting back on this semester, I feel like I now have more strategies and resources to keep technology integrated into my lesson plans in order to heighten student interest. I do still need more practice delivering lessons that use more technology, which will come this spring during my student teaching.
Nice story about your friend's future career as a doctor in family medicine and some of the favorite travel locations. I too don't know the word for crab in Spanish, but I do think fishing in Alaska might have a longer lifetime than most other fishing locations these days. Thanks for sharing how this could be used as a learning activity in Spanish classes. Very creative.
